MAGA: What about Clinton
Trump starts an illegal war with Iran.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

This rings true to me--whatever else AI is supposedly doing out there it certainly hasn't de-enshittified a damn thing, and I can't even thing of a new *feature* on an existing piece of software that I actually wanted to use (AI itself as a feature is too self-licking-ice-cream-cone to count anyway)
Ex-programmers like Bluesky's tech team will insist strenuously that Everything Has Changed and react to skepticism with hostility and insults, while still completely failing to deliver anything close to a revolution to users.

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Ah, yes, the invaluable wisdom of the markets.
Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.
What stage of the apocalypse is this?

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.
Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
